Can't open HTTP connection to a proxied server

[Alexandre CUENCA]

Greetings,

Trying to open an HTTP connection to a web server. The connection is rejected
by the proxy. In order to bypass the proxy, I used to code something like:

System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", hostname) ;
System.setProperty(“http.proxyPort”, port);
.......

Doing that, works properly in a standalone Java application. As soon as the same
code is implemented in a WebLogic 8.1 deployed EJB, it fails with the following
stack dump:

<May 10, 2004 7:12:07 PM CEST> <Info> <net> <000903> <Could not open connection

Suggestions anybody before my boss gets nervous about that ?

Many thanks in advance,

Im having exactly the same issue. Moving to WL 8.1 and BAM! I saw
another post about this from a while back :
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=3f7cc446%241%40newsgroups.bea.com&rnum=4&prev=/groups%3Fq%3D%2522Could%2Bnot%2Bopen%2Bconnection%2Bwith%2Bhost:%2522%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D3f7cc446%25241%2540newsgroups.bea.com%26rnum%3D4

with some of the things this guy was trying, but no resolution posted
in the thread. Still investigating.
